Answer:

The visible light spectrum is the segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can view.

More simply, this range of wavelengths is called visible light. Typically, the human eye can detect wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers.

Explanation

WAVELENGTHS OF VISIBLE LIGHT

All electromagnetic radiation is light, but we can only see a small portion of this radiation—the portion we call visible light. Cone-shaped cells in our eyes act as receivers tuned to the wavelengths in this narrow band of the spectrum. Other portions of the spectrum have wavelengths too large or too small and energetic for the biological limitations of our perception.

As the full spectrum of visible light travels through a prism, the wavelengths separate into the colors of the rainbow because each color is a different wavelength. Violet has the shortest wavelength, at around 380 nanometers, and red has the longest wavelength, at around 700 nanometers.

Answer:

There are two reasons. First, the wave spreads out as it moves away from the transmitter, which reduces its energy over a given area. Second, some energy is absorbed by the air.

Answer:-

29.07 gram of Cu(NO3)2 will be formed.

4.756 grams of AgNO3 will be left over when the reaction is complete.

Explanation:-

Atomic weight of Cu = 63.546 g mol -1

Molecular weight of AgNO3 = 107.87 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3

= 169.87 g mol-1

Number of moles of Copper = 9.85 gram / (63.546 g mol-1)

= 0.155 mol

Number of moles of AgNO3 = 31 gram / ( 169.87 g mol-1)

= 0.183 mol

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

Cu + AgNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + Ag

According to the equation,

1 mole of Cu reacts with 1 mole of AgNO3.

∴0.155 mol of Cu react with 0.155 mol of AgNO3.

Number of moles of AgNO3 left over = 0.183-0.155=0.028 mol

Number of grams of AgNO3 left over = 0.028 mol x 169.87 grams mol-1

= 4.756 gram

Molecular weight of Cu(NO3)2 = 63.546 x 1 + (14 x 1 +16 x 3 ) x 2

=187.546 gram

Now from the balanced chemical equation,

1 Cu gives 1 Cu(NO3)2

∴ 63.546 g of Cu gives 187.546 gram of Cu(NO3)2

9.85 grams pf Cu gives 187.546 x 9.85 / 64.546 gram of Cu(NO3)2

= 29.07 gram of Cu(NO3)2

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Enantiomers/ Isomers/ Stereoisomers/ Meso compounds/ Constitutional isomers/ Diastereomers.

Explanation:

Isomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula but have different conformation, or in its connections, or the orientation in space. Isomers have different chemical and physical properties (second blank).

The isomers that only differ by the orientation of their atoms in space are called stereoisomers (third blank).

The stereoisomers that have a chiral carbon and do not mirror images of each are called enantiomers (first blank). They can deviate the polarized light.

When a compound has two or more chiral carbons but they compensate for the deviation of the light, and the compound is optically inactive, it's called a meso compound (fourth blank).

When the isomers differ in the way the atoms are connected it's called a constitutional isomer (fifth blank).

When the molecule has more than one chiral carbon, it will have pairs of enantiomers. The isomers that aren't of the same pair are nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other and are called diastereomers (last blank).
